This book covers the consolidation of the European world-economy during the seventeenth century.

出生於法國巴黎的猶太裔學者，喬治?史坦納（George Steiner ）是當代知名的文學批評家兼作者，曾在耶魯、劍橋及哈佛等大學擔任教職，專精於比較文學和翻譯理論，畢生著作等身，探討議題涵蓋哲學、語言、文學經典，以及閱讀方法，並啟發了對大眾文化的研究。史坦納在學界的傑出表現使他屢次獲獎，包括美國藝術與科學學院榮譽會員以及法國政府榮譽團騎士級獎章。
史坦納於將近七十歲高齡時寫下散文形式的自傳《勘誤表》，以時間為主軸，回顧他曾關心過的種種議題，作為檢視其一生成就與遺珠之報告。他從幼時學習經驗談起，隨著自己的成長歷程，一步步談論他曾關心過的重要議題，包括猶太人和非猶太人之間的關係、音樂的永續存在、衍申自巴別塔故事的語言以及翻譯問題、對當代政治與社會的評論，以及如師亦友的師生關係。史坦納以其思想議題之旅行為主軸，整理出他在人生中各個時期所啟發的種種哲思，讓讀者更明瞭史坦納在等身著作背後的寫作動機。書中也再次統整史坦納的思想精華，對於未接觸過他的讀者來說，《勘誤表》無疑是一窺大師風采的最佳導覽自傳。
史坦納為自傳下的書名，《勘誤表》，其實包含了深層的意義。一方面，史坦納的學術批評生涯一直都在勘正被批評對象的錯誤，例如他在本書第七章中指出，聖經中的巴別塔事件並不是對人類的詛咒，而是使得人類擁有不同語言的天賦恩賜，使得人類的經驗、思想、感情以及概念因多語能力而更顯豐富且具創造力。另一方面，寫作自傳讓史坦納得以誠實面對一生作品中未盡完善之處，並對在生命中扮演重要角色的雙親、教師和朋友致上謝意與敬意，故他以勘誤表一詞為名，盼能校正生命中的錯誤和遺憾。 「海德格曾說：『思想偉大者必犯大錯』。而 『思想渺小者』，同樣會犯大錯。」史坦納在自傳《勘誤表》中整理先前所勘他人之誤，同時也勘自身之誤，可說是用心良苦。

Nobel Laureate Herbert A. Simon has in the past quarter century been in the front line of the information-processing revolution; in fact, to a remarkable extent his and his colleagues' contributions have written the history of that revolution in cognitive psychology. This book brings together papers dating from the start of Simon's career to the present. Its focus is on modeling the chief components of human cognition and on testing these models experimentally.

犹太人是两千年前被迫流亡的那个民族的后裔吗？《圣经》如何且为什么会变成记录民族起源的的历史书籍？《虚构的犹太民族》拆解了萦绕在犹太民族和以色列历史上的神话和禁忌，提供了一种全新的视角和关于以色列形成的叙事。以色列著名历史学家施罗默·桑德认为，大多数犹太人的故土遍布中东和东欧，这些分散的不同群体能形成一个犹太民族，进而成为一个犹太国家，只可能在一种新编纂的历史下发生，而其背景是整个欧洲的民族主义的崛起和发展。作者颇具胆量地运用现代民族主义的理论澄清了古老的神话。他特立独行的工作，为了解中东现状和解决争端提供了新的可能性。

本书介绍了很多经典有趣的行为实验, 指出我们在什么情况下可以相信自己的直觉, 什么时候不能相信;指导我们如何在商场, 职场和个人生活中做出更好的选择, 以及如何运用不同技巧来避免那些常常使我们陷入麻烦的思维失误.

管理的实践(珍藏版)

The New York Times bestselling author of Predictably Irrational and The Upside of Irrationality returns with thought-provoking work to challenge our preconceptions about dishonesty and urge us to take an honest look at ourselves.
Does the chance of getting caught affect how likely we are to cheat?
How do companies pave the way for dishonesty?
Does collaboration make us more honest or less so?
Does religion improve our honesty?
Most of us think of ourselves as honest, but, in fact, we all cheat. From Washington to Wall Street, the classroom to the workplace, unethical behavior is everywhere. None of us is immune, whether it's the white lie to head off trouble or padding our expense reports. In The (Honest) Truth About Dishonesty, award-winning, bestselling author Dan Ariely turns his unique insight and innovative research to the question of dishonesty.
Generally, we assume that cheating, like most other decisions, is based on a rational cost-benefit analysis. But Ariely argues, and then demonstrates, that it's actually the irrational forces that we don't take into account that often determine whether we behave ethically or not. For every Enron or political bribe, there are countless puffed rÉsumÉs, hidden commissions, and knockoff purses. In The (Honest) Truth About Dishonesty, Ariely shows why some things are easier to lie about; how getting caught matters less than we think; and how business practices pave the way for unethical behavior, both intentionally and unintentionally. Ariely explores how unethical behavior works in the personal, professional, and political worlds, and how it affects all of us, even as we think of ourselves as having high moral standards.
But all is not lost. Ariely also identifies what keeps us honest, pointing the way for achieving higher ethics in our everyday lives. With compelling personal and academic findings, The (Honest) Truth About Dishonesty will change the way we see ourselves, our actions, and others.

Drawing on a wealth of new archival material, including personal correspondence and diaries, Robert Leonard tells the fascinating story of the creation of game theory by Hungarian Jewish mathematician John von Neumann and Austrian economist Oskar Morgenstern. Game theory first emerged amid discussions of the psychology and mathematics of chess in Germany and fin-de-siecle Austro-Hungary. In the 1930s, on the cusp of anti-Semitism and political upheaval, it was developed by von Neumann into an ambitious theory of social organization. It was shaped still further by its use in combat analysis in World War II and during the Cold War. Interweaving accounts of the period's economics, science, and mathematics, and drawing sensitively on the private lives of von Neumann and Morgenstern, Robert Leonard provides a detailed reconstruction of a complex historical drama.

Under Andy Grove’s leadership，Intel has become the worlds largest chip maker and one of the most admired companies in the world．In only the Paranoid Survive, Grove reveals his strategy of focusing on a new way of measuring the nightmare moment every leader dreads——when massive change occurs and a company must，yirtually overnight adapt or fall by the wayside．Grove calls such a moment a Strategic Inflection Point，which can be set off by almost anything:mega-competition, a change in regulations, or a seemingly modest change in technology. When a Strategic Inflection Point hits, the ordinary rules of business go out the window. Yet man-aged right, a Strategic Inflection Point can be and opportunity to win in the marketplace and emerge stronger than ever. Grove underscores his message by examining his own record of success and failure, including how he navigated the events of the Pentium flaw, which threatened Intel's reputation in 1994, and how he has dealt with the explosions in growth of the Internet. The work of a lifetime, Only the Paranoid Survive is a classic of managerial and leadership skills.
"This book is about one super-important concept. You must learn about Strategic Inflection Points, because sooner or later you are going to live through one."_STEVE JOBS, CEO, PIXAR ANIMATION STUDIOS
"Andy explains...with modesty that cannot conceal his brilliance, how he has led Intel through changes and challenges that many companies could not cope with...The country will benefit from his vision."_REED HUNDT, CHAIRMAN, FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

《汉译经典034：性与性格》是魏宁格23岁时出版的著作，也是他生前出版的唯一著作。它不但提出了带有普遍性和根本性的两性关系问题，而且从哲学、逻辑学、伦理学和心理学等多个角度对这些问题进行了反传统的探讨。《性与性格》对后来的西方文化，对现代主义和后现代主义都产生了巨大影响。斯特林堡、维特根斯坦、卡夫卡、劳伦斯、乔伊斯、拉康以及近年在西方学界走红的齐泽克都受到他的影响。西蒙娜？波伏娃在《第二性》中的名言“女人不是生成的，而是造就的”便是从魏宁格的理论引申而来。
